                         1. How can we classify fear?
                         2. Why?


               (P)       3. What do we do with our fears?
               Comment:  We do exactly the same thing with our fears that we did with our
               resentments.  List everybody and everything that we fear.  Once they are all listed,
               we ask ourselves why we have them.  After that review, we see how segments of our
               lives have been affected.  And finally, are they the result of our selfishness,
               dishonesty, self-seeking or frightened way of treating those we have listed?

                         6. Does self-reliance have anything to do with it?

                                8-b. What did it solve?

                       10.  What made it worse?


               (P)     11. What do we think about this matter?


                       12. What different basis are we now on, having started carrying out
                       our Third Step decision?


                       13. Who do we now trust?


                       14. What is our role in life now?


                              15-a. Just to the extent we do what?
                              15-b. If we really let Him direct our life, what is promised?




               (P)     17. When and to whom do we apologize for our new way of life?


                       18. We can laugh at who?  (2 sentences)
